1 Freedom! HiPath MobileConnect Delivering on the Promise of Fixed Mobile Convenience Communication for the open minded

2 Call Me! Remember when communication was that simple. A simple call me was all you needed to say. Your business card had only one number. People could reach you. Deals got done. Business moved forward. Today, the world is more mobile, making enterprise communications more complex and more costly. Multiple phone numbers, multiple mailboxes, multiple address books. Time wasted keeping synchronized. Time wasted checking multiple voic systems. Time wasted tracking down colleagues. Calls missed. Messages missed. Business deals lost. Now Siemens delivers the freedom that mobility always promised without compromising control, the convenience of a single enterprise communications infrastructure, and the tools to control rising communication costs. Siemens Open Mobile Enterprise delivers on the promise of Fixed Mobile Convenience. The demand for mobility from enterprise workers continues to escalate, as do the challenges and costs. No matter where people are, they need to be reachable to keep the business moving. Within corporate sites, workers need to be able to communicate with equal effectiveness at their desk, in meetings, at shared workspaces or on the factory floor. But business goes on beyond the walls of the enterprise, and workers are increasingly relying on the combination of public cellular as well as WiFi networks and hotspots to be able to reach colleagues, clients and information. Unfortunately, using too many communications solutions causes fragmentation. Too many choices actually make it harder to communicate effectively and decrease the likelihood that the message will get through. Too many networks also drive up costs. Users are finding their own ways to become more effective by increasingly using their cell phones to make and receive calls even when they are within the enterprise. This drives up the cost of mobility significantly and yet still does not provide the experience that the end user really wants. Siemens enterprise FMC solution brings order to the chaos of communications fragmentation by creating the Open Mobile Enterprise with an end to end enterprisewide foundation for mobility that supports centrally managed voice and data solutions across the multiple networks Fixed VoIP, WLAN and cellular. Imagine the return to a single phone number, a single voic and PBX features available at your fingertips and follows you wherever you go. Imagine a device smart enough to select between the WLAN or cellular networks and to automatically and seamlessly roam between the two. Imagine Fixed Mobile Convenience.

3 Fixed Mobile Convenience And the Open Mobile Enterprise It starts by bringing three networks together Siemens enterprise FMC solution is an open, end-to-end solution that unifies enterprise communications by bringing together three disparate communications networks VoIP, WLAN and cellular to create a seamless, low-cost enterprise-wide foundation for mobility. The first end-to-end enterprise FMC portfolio Siemens Enterprise-wide Foundation for Mobility offers all of the elements needed to deliver a well-integrated end-to-end enterprise FMC solution. Siemens family of award-winning SIP-based IP communications platforms and industry-leading wireless LAN infrastructure are able to deliver the secure, high-performance voice-over- WLAN (VoWLAN) necessary for enterprise FMC. World class service offerings provide the expertise needed to effectively bring all these pieces together. Connecting the dots with MobileConnect Siemens role as a global leader in wireless and voice communications empowers companies to extend mobility beyond the doors of the office, with solutions bridging the gap between the enterprise and public cellular networks. Siemens HiPath MobileConnect enables dual-mode cellular devices to appear as extensions to the SIP-based IP PBX, regardless of the actual network they are on WLAN or cellular. One Number, One Mailbox Now mobile workers can be reached on a single number managed by the SIP PBX. Regardless of the location of the individual in the office, on campus, on the go or in the home office a single number is all that is needed. HiPath MobileConnect also leverages the SIP PBX s single voic solution, further simplifying the life of the mobile worker. Reach new levels of productivity and reachability Having a single number and voice mailbox enables MobileConnect users to make faster decisions, provide colleagues and customers with the answers they need right away, and be more productive than ever before. Seamlessly Roam In / Roam Out For employees always on the move, having the device intelligently select the networks is not always enough. The Siemens solution uniquely enables users to roam between cellular and WLAN networks ensuring important calls are not dropped just because a user moves into or out of range. Another example of Siemens voice networking expertise built into the solution to deliver real user value. Lowering the boom on cell costs The HiPath MobileConnect Client on the dual mode handset automatically selects the lowest cost network VoWLAN or cellular driving down cellular minute usage and the associated costs while ensuring quality of coverage and service a win-win for both users and IT managers. From Siemens it s open of course! Siemens commitment to Open Communications ensures that enterprises can build their own OpenPath to Enterprise FMC leveraging existing equipment with best-inclass solutions from Siemens wide range of HiPath Ready partners.
